Monday - June 16

monday morning swim. bathtub water. slower intervals, but overall a good swim. kick was good. goal is to get it under 8 minutes for 300 yds. tired after a weekend of officiating an outdoor swim meet. Also we were up at 4 this morning to get William out the door on the training trip with the swim team.

Friday - June 13

this was a bust. one of the mornings that all i wanted to do was curl into a ball on the floor. thought that starting the strength workout would handle that issue. sort of jump start the body. no. got through a third of the strength workout and wanted to curl up into a tighter ball on the floor. so, no ride today. Need to re-examine/be more intentional about nutrition. i think that is as much the problem as anything.

long weekend of starting at an outdoor swim meet. no training, but come Monday i will inevitably feel like some drove a truck over me.

foundation run as a brick
small loop

Thursday morning brick (real one). very muggy out. air felt thick. decent ride. took a while for legs to feel awake. good run. felt smooth the whole time (which hasn't happened in a few weeks). on both the ride and run, was able to get into z2 for the last half of each.

Wednesday morning strength work of balance and corrective moves followed by the Wednesday morning speed work. good overall workout. legs took a while to wake up, but after about 20 minutes they approached normal. lot of rolling afterwards.

Swimming after work weather permitting

swim done. not great. need to move the kick set to earlier in the workout. leg cramps killed the kick and the cd. still, not a bad swim. water was warmer than a bathtub.

tuesday morning ride. waited for the storms to pass before i headed out. did the full fhp, hwy 58 to 70. the new part has four hills each way to deal with. These are all over passes, we don't have real hills this far east. good ride. some wind, but not bad. legs were tired from the workouts over the last two days, but after about 40 minutes, they began to approach normal. Overall a good ride.
